TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE arshfield Pirates ornado Hoopsters Coos Bay The rugged Marsh field Pirates capitalized on con trol in contention under the backboards, an edge in shoot ing at the free throw line and Black. Tornado inability to must er its full effectiveness as an offensive unit Friday night to turn back the Medford high basketball contingent 57 to 50 in a non-conference fracas on the Pirate court. Pirate triumph in the tight, tense conflict, which was fairly close all the way, avenged an early season 44 to 80 loss to the Tornado. Marshfield didn't have decis ive advantage in retrieveing und er the boards but the Pirates were able on occasions to tip the ball back up again and again un der their bucket until it dropped through the hoop. Medford play ers flashed scoring thrust at times as individuals but just never got warmed up as a team Deadlocked Score Score was deadlocked four times in the opening canto but after the Pirates took a 15 to 14 lead in the panel they were never behind nor were they tied in the remaining portions of the struggle. Quarterly gaps held by the Coos club were 17 to 14, 33 to 26 and 48 to 40. Medford's last lead in the be ginning chucker was 14 to 12. Sandy Fraser tied up the ruckus with -a driver and Denny Baker popped in the first of a pair of free shot tries to make it 15 to 14 for the Pirates' permanent command. Despite its dearth of concert ed shooting, . the Black Tornado did outgun the Pirates from the field and it was trips to the gift strip which gave Marshfield its scoring margin. Medford had a 37 per cent night from the field ' and 2J) goals. Marshfield record ed 19 buckets in 31.7 per cent firing. At the charity alley the Pirates "cashed in on 19 of 31 and Medford made 10 of 18. Bob Tisdel loosened, up the most in the - scoremaking for the Black Tornado. He hit his stride in the third quarter 'with 11 points after a four-point first half. An additidnal six in the final canto gave him 21 for the night and high total for the game. Tisdel had 10 field goals. Stanford Hands Ducks 73-60 Loss Stanford, Calif. '(U.R) Stanford handed Oregon its sec ond straight defeat in as many q days Saturday by downing the Webfoots 73-60 in a regionally televised Pacific Coast game that saw the Indians move away easily after a close first half. 63 . George SellecR, five foot eight inch Stanford guard, led the at tack by sinking 23 points, most or them on set shots from about 25 feet away. The Indians now are 6-2 in conference play while Oregon has sagged to 2-4. The score was tied 12 times in the first half as Oregon bat tled vainly to avenge Friday's 74-55 loss. Then Stanford forg ed ahead with two minutes to go in the half and kept on go ing. " Barry Brown, the Indians' surprise package at center, kept the pot boiling by sinking 15 of his 17 points during the second half splurge. Six foot three Charley Frank lin scored 18 points for the los- ers. Three Stanford men fouled out during the rough contest. Stanford turned in a team performance Friday night to de feat Oregon 74-o5. The Ducks jumped . off to a 17-13 lead in the first 10 min utes of the game and then went ice cold as the Indians held them to two points in the next seven minutes and took over for good at 30-19. By halftime the Oregomans had reduced the Stanford mar gin to six points but during the second half the home town five pulled steadily away. Bill Bond had 20 points to lead Stanford while Barry Brown also potted 17 for the winners. Jerry Ross with 15 points was high for Oregon, followed by Charles Franklin with 14. Stanford hit for 43 per cent from the floor while Oregon hit 40 per cent.

Roger Johnson was the scor ing leader for the Pirates with 19 on nine field goals and a gifter. Big Barry Bullard col lected 14 counters for Marshfield and Dick McLaughlin 12 for Medford.

Talent remained right on the heels of the Crusaders and had second place alone in the B standings with a 69 to 49 win over the Prospect Cougars. But te Falls clubbed Jacksonville 70 to 58 in the third of the Friday battles which brought t h e' B loop to its midway point. The Crusaders had to come from behind in the closing mo ments to overcome the RR Chief tains who had led most of the night. A field shot by John Walsh with half a minute left in an almost photo finish put St. Mary's ahead 57 to 56 and Jim Darland added the conclud ing marker with eight seconds left to play. Talent and Butte Falls each took big jump? in their opening quarters to estab lish control. Catch at 52-A11 After five first quarter dead locks at Rogue River, the Chiefs went ahead 13 to 12 and St. Mary's didn't catch up until Dick Paup put in a close-in circus shot for a 52-all score in the fourth quarter. Harold Moore put RR back on top 54 to 52. Paup got a free shot and field goal for a 54 to 5 Crusader edge but Bill Weaver retaliated for Rogue Riv er and the Chiefs led again 56 to 55. Walsh and Jim Darland then added their points. Rogue River's quarter spreads were 15 to 12, 32 to 29 and 43 to 42 but the Chiefs were never more than six points in the lead Free shots made the difference. SM made 20 of 27 attempts to Rogue River's 10 to .23. The Chieftains had a 23 to 19 margin from the field. Weaver collected 20 points for RR while Walsh got 18 and La val Meunier 16 for the league leaders. St. Mary's was without the services of tall center Tony Miksche, out with an ankle sprain, but Gerold Darland came through with fine rebounding in his best game of the year and his brother, Jim, turned in a sterling performance, too. Passing Tops Talent, with its passing the best of the campaign and its defense good with few excep tions, got a 20 to 9 first quarter lead on Prospect. Halftime score was 42 to 27 and the third canto totals were 54 to 37. Jack Bar rett, Gary Combs and Bob Hof fman each got 14 points for Tal ent and Don Vannice had 12 for Prospect.

(U.R) Chuck Spieser, the baldish grad uate of Michigan State who held young Willie-Pastrano to a sur prise draw, asked for a shot at the light heavyweight crown to day "as soon as possible." Spieser's body attack would have won an avenging decision over heavyweight Pastrano of Miami Beach Friday night in their return TV-radio 10-round-er had not the aggressive De troiter tired in the late sessions. Willie Favored Jiggling Willie had outpoint ed hard-hitting Chuck at Chi cago, July 25, and was favored at 12-5 to do1 it again. But the near-capacity 3,918 fans came close to seeing Pastrano's un beaten streak ended at 15 straight. ' Judge Fred Aaronson had Spieser ahead, 96-95. But Referee Cy Gottfried favored Pastrano, 96-95. Judge Stu Winston called it even, 96-96. Chuck forced the fighting in every round and barraged -Willie's midriff whenever he could corral the retreating, side stepping youngster at close quar ters. Chuck was effective also with some left hooks and rights to the head. But Pastrano's countering left jabs and left hooks were often the cleaner punches. BRIDGE OPENED Aberdeen, Wash.

T-H n n BRANDAU and KINGMAN at 9th and CENTRAL Russia Leads Winter Olympic Competition New World Speed Skate Mark Set Cortina, Italy (U.R) Russia flexed its powerful athletic mus cles over snow and ice Satur day and pulled away to a com manding lead in the Winter Olympic Games with a world record in speed skating and a cross-country skiing gold medal by a 37-y e a r-old lady school teacher. Evgeniy Grishin, a 28-year-old jeweler and bicycle-racer, proved himself the world's fast est man on ice skates when he lowered the existing 500-meter record by six-tenths of a second in winning the event in .40.2 sec onds. Blonde Winner Only a few minutes before, Lubov Kpzyreva, a stocky, blonde teacher, won for the U.S.S.R. its first gold medal of the 1956 classic when she sped over the undulating 10-kilometer 6.2-mile cross-country ski course in 38 minutes and 11' sec onds. In each event, a Russian ath lete also placed second and fourth, giving the Soviet a bo naza oi! 36 points for the day in the unofficial team standings. Added to 10 gleaned in Friday's events, that gave Russia a total of 46 points more than three times the number of its closest pursuers. Italy also achieved a 1-2 sweep, taking the first two plac es in the two-man bobsled com petition to move into a second place . tie with Finland, at 15 pionts. Lamberto Dalla Costa, a daring 35-year-old aet pilot in the Italian air force, won the event with the four fastest heats Favored Eugenio Monti placed second. Americans Frustrated For the Americans, it was an other largely frustrating day marred by an injury to bobsled- der Ed Seymour of Rochester, N.Y., which may hamper the U. S. chances in . the four-man event next week. The U. S. hockey team defeat ed Poland, 4-0, and virtually as sured itself of a place in the six- nation championship .round-rob in pool. But the triumph was ac complished only after a tongue lashing from the team manager for lack-luster play had aroused the Americans to a three-goal last-period spree. U. S. athletes collected three points in bobsledding and an other in speed skating for a mea ger 63A point total that placed them in s tie for seventh place in the unofficial team standings. Bud Washbond of East Hart ford, Conn., driver of the U. S. sled which was supposed to have given the Italians their sternest challenge, wound up in fifth place. The sled driven by Art Tyler of. Rochester, N.Y., on which Seymour was injured, placed sixth. Bill Carow, 31-year-old Madi son, Wis., speed skater, made the best U.

Game Group 8 Agrees on Regulations Portland (U.R) The State Game commission Friday agreed on 1956 angling regulations, making few changes from : the tentative regulations proposed two weeks ago. Major change adopted moved the salmon fishing deadline on the main Umpqua river from Beckley bridge up to Smith Fer ry bridge, thus opening up about six miles of additional sal mon fishing waters. The deadline on the Millicoma river was moved back to it original position. Other deadline changes in cluded the middle fork of the Willamette where it was moved up river from Fall creek to one- . half mile below Dexter dam. At Paulina, lake it was moved out an additional 100 yards. Break on Deschutes A break was given Deschutes steelhead fishermen when the commission raised the deadline from Warm Springs bridge up to the mouth of the Crooked riv er. But the winter closure from Feb. 1 to AprE 27 below Crook ed river will remain in effect. The commission turned down a request to extend the winter steelhead sea son on coastal streams because too many fish would be in a gravid condition during March. The Wilson river was opened up to summer trout angling above Lee's bridge because all other coastal streams and their tributaries are open to summer trout angling. The 1956 angling regulations will take effect Feb. 11.
